Image stabilization

Unique image stabilization test equipment

Capturing well-focused high-resolution images even under low light conditions is one of the significant performance characteristics of a digital camera.

This feature is the reason why many cameras have built-in image stabilization.

We have developed our Turnkey Solution "Image Stabilization" to evaluate the performance of the optical or electronic image stabilization systems built into cameras.

The solution is built around the compact and highly dynamic camera-shaking device called STEVE-6D, which has a unique six-axis positioning system. When using the included software solution, the tester can define any arbitrary motion with six degrees of freedom, thus putting STEVE-6D in a controlled vibration.

The software also controls iQ-Trigger, a remote-controlled "mechanical finger," which presses the camera’s shutter button. The software’s analysis module evaluates the resulting images. The results provide insight into the image stabilizer’s performance.

The set-up combination of the STEVE-6D, iQ-Trigger, the Honeycomb Breadboard, (used to mount STEVE-6D), and the iQ-Af Box with the TE261 chart, enables a comprehensive test and analysis of the performance of image stabilization systems.
